Step 1. Built Internet to get away from TV
Step 2. Corporate Greed TV moves over and ruins Internet.
Step 3. Build New Internet to escape Old Internet Ruined by TV bloodsuckers.
Step 4. Go back to step 2 and replace tech names with next itteration.
Even owning Smart devices and having them always plugged in may potentially be a vector, Rob did a good breakdown on how this is achieved.

Did you know that your IOT devices are secretly communicating with each other? This includes IOT devices that are not in your home. Did you know that what your IOT devices do may be transmitted to third parties? Did you know that your TV may also have the capability and may currently be transmitting your activity far and wide?
There are secret communications occurring between IOT devices using protocols like Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, Thread, 802.15, and LoRa that you likely didn’t expect or was not explained when you bought these devices.
Just like Amazon Echo has been conscripted to work with the Amazon Sidewalk Mesh network, other networks are in operation
Yeah I would definitely skip out on Mastodon and Lemmy directly. They’re fine as a temporary visit but long term nah.
Dickhead meet Dickbutt, sounds like reddit poetry to me
I think your best bet is to assume that everything you don’t control is a vector.
The modems run binary blobs you don’t control.
A standard modem with a singular hookup to a router is as good as it gets. Maybe you are contemplating the modem as a combo – if it is also a router and wifi, you can bet the ISP sees that as “Their Network” and not “Your Network” and any WiFi capabilities could be used to reverse hack insecure devices theoretically like smart TV or IoT.
You could put the modem router combo in a Faraday cage to dampen the signal theoretically.
That may not be answers to the query but I think the smart short answer is: yes, unless verified no.
Edit: to go further, theoretically they can capture any traffic and if they get the encryption key decrypt the traffic.
Or maybe with a quantum computer decrypt with ease. And if you have any leaks or there are backdoors then who knows what the consequences could be, cough cough xz
Block the ISP DNS and use your own on the router level.
You could look into wireguard or VPN on the router level.
Probably OpenSense.
As long ad your device has a IMEI though not like it matters.
There’s probably a million other things you would need too. Make sure your browser doesn’t use its own DNS, eg, Firefox + CloudFlare by default.
I assume you could theoretically split traffic up over multiple ISP’s making it a PITA to try to make sense of.
Also obviously separate trusted & untrusted devices, WiFi and wired into separate networks.
Earthquakes and fallout are no biggie, just get yourself a standard elementary school desk and you good.
The average person doesn’t even have a IQ of 100 and we are in a decline. Let it sink in.
If you swap it out for Lineage problem solved. I agree & strongly recommend against using a stock Sony ROM. It kind of defeats the point of buying one.
Right, like people want to develop wrist pain over a damn phone. 5&6" is hard to come by.
Probably because you buy them upfront and online mostly and not from the service providers.
1 II had somebody repack the official camera app on lineage, I’m curious maybe the newers 1 lineups ones got repacked too
Flashing Lineage on the 1 II is trivial now compared to a few years ago.
The stock ROM is loaded with shitware in II III and V.
The shape is great not too big for the hand.
The camera is decent, surely better in VI. No stupid AI color boost and faking pictures.
The price is steep as you know.
The screens feel like they could have been brighter.
3.5mm AUX, MicroSD as you know.
Sony ASOP is about the only thing keeping me interested in their lineups.
Better than Sam or Apple. But to be honest all cellphones are trash, satellite StarLink phone and others can’t happen soon enough or a decent Linux phone.
Its a solid plan.
Fdroid literally says fennec tracks you under “anti-features”, did I miss something?
Goodbye Internet v1.0
With a cliffhanger like that I’ll try to guess … number of steps taken?
Not really sure what else is realistic and what is hypothetical.
Yes, vote with your dollar. That’s all these companies understand. The only way to win is not to play and say no to these data syphon extortion schemes.
Right? It’s like people forgot GitHub iMicrosoft and it could go away any moment or get weird fast.
Hell maybe you agree not to sue Microsoft in the EULA Disney+ style.
